Does anyone else find it strange that once the signal was given to Kozak to get ready to come on Richards suddenly developed a life threatening injury prior to which he didn't seem to be suffering.

Quote from: OzVilla on January 10, 2016, 11:32:05 PMOr Garde is serious about cancelling a few contracts and they need Lerner to give the green light. Or they think we need another change and Garde is out. Or they are planning for inevitable relegation and the aftermath (no forget that, that would require some forethought). Could be any of these but I'd seriously doubt even we'd be so unprepared as to be having to fly across the Atlantic to beg for transfer funds on the 11th January though.But it's Villa kicking season in the media so whatever makes us look more incompetent makes better copy - it's not like they risk Lerner cutting the media off is it. They've bought all this on themselves.Yep, it's not about asking for more funds. There would be way more to it than that. The board haven't exactly covered themselves in glory, but I don't think they are just starting transfer discussions two weeks into the window. If fact last month Garde was already talking about the window and strengthening. I doubt he was only discussion that with his wife and the bloke in the mirror.

Unless John Percy has been told by a club executive that they are going to NY to ask for funds it's all supposition. He doesn't know for sure, and the fact that we haven't signed anyone gives that particular angle additional validity. It's doesn't however make it any more accurate. I am sure transfer activity would be on the agenda but you don't need to go to NY for a face to face meeting with the owner to ask for money. Phone, Skype, Video conference etc etc. There's more to the meeting than just transfer funds.
Here is a photo from the article, which I find quite sad.

My guess is that the meeting is to get Randy Lerner's approval to the night of the long knives Remi Garde wants to have.It is not about bringing players in, it is about shipping them out. Remi does not want another bomb squad, he wants a clear out and it will cost money. If Randy prevaricates or tries to compromise on a budget clear out I think Remi Garde will tender his resignation there in New York.
